Kenting’s annual highlight, the Spring Music Festival, is set to make a lively return this April. Since its inception in 1995, Spring Scream has become a sacred ground for music lovers to showcase their talents and connect through music. Many of Taiwan’s most prominent bands have performed at Spring Scream, and making a pilgrimage to the event has long been synonymous with “youth” for many.

With an increasingly diverse range of events in recent years, the festival has been renamed the “Spring Music Season.” It now consists of multiple segments, including the iconic “Spring Scream,” the “Spring Wave Music Festival” hosted by Friendly Dog Entertainment, and the “Kenting Bubble Party” organized by Odin Integrated Marketing. This rich and varied program draws both domestic and international music fans to Kenting, as the area extends a warm invitation to all of Taiwan and even the world to join Taiwan’s most energetic and exciting annual music extravaganza.

This year’s Spring Wave Music Festival has invited S.H.E and Mayday to headline on April 4 and 5 respectively. The third edition of the “Kenting Bubble Party” will rock out on April 4 with a rock-themed lineup, headlined by renowned female artist Ding Dang. On April 5, the electric queen Jolin Tsai, who has been electrifying countdown parties in recent years, will take the stage as the closing act. The biggest highlight this year is the debut appearance of diva Jolin Tsai at the music festival. Her outfit and setlist are being kept top secret, and the event is expected to spark a major ticket rush.
